Tuesday evening, Feb. Is; 8 of the
evening meetings, 5 monday meet
ings, and 3 popular lectures were
given in this hall. Mr.. Booth also
addressed 8 meetings in Fort street
Church and in the native churches.
313 foreigners and 396 natives
signed the pledge, which was prob
ably about two-thirds of the whole
number who took the blue ribbon /;
the balance having signed the pledge
at some previous time. The good
accomplished cannot he calculated
automatically or expressed by
figures; but may be regarded as a
strong link in the chain that shall
one day bind the demon-drink,
when he shall be cast hence from
those sunny shores.
In closing desire on behalf of
the Association, and personally as
well, to thank all the friends who
so kindly and generously contributed
time, means, ability and influence
to forward our efforts in the inter-
est of young men, especially those
who have aided the Hawaiian Branch
enterprise. The press of the city
deserve special mention for their
uniform kindness and helpful notices
of our work.
Our best service has been con-
sciously imperfect, but we CRATE
fully remember the source of our
strength in the past, and look out
into the new year with hope, trust
ing in Him who hath said: 81 the
Lord thy God will hold thy right
hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; l
will help thee"
As officers and members let us be
careful not to lose our individuality
in the organized body, or shift to it.,
the responsibility that belongs to
each personally; and may God i'm
press upon each worker of this As
ISOLATION the importance of reaching,
and saving the indiUidual young
man. s. ID. FULLER,
General Secretary.
